In the four quarters of 2008 a total of 2,926 institutional investors worldwide have reported using one or more ETFs. Over the past 11 years, the number of institutional users has increased 1,673%. This represents a CAGR of 29.9%.
Institutional investors in 42 countries have reported using at least one ETF in 2008. The United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain and Switzerland have the largest number of institutional users and account for 83%.
Over half of the largest institutional investors (those with assets over US$10 Bn) report using one or more ETFs, while less than a quarter of institutions with assets under US$250 Mn report using ETFs. The overall penetration rate is still very low at 6.7% of reporting institutions.
